Celebrities in trouble with the law in 2016

Police arrested Chris Brown on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon at his home in the Los Angeles area on Aug. 30 after they received a call from his alleged victim, onetime beauty queen Baylee Curran, who claimed that the singer pulled a gun on her and kicked her out of his home when she got too close to some of his jewelry. Chris maintains that she made up the story out of spite after he gave her the boot, a claim validated by a text obtained by TMZ in which Baylee allegedly told a pal that she planned to set up the controversial rapper. But the authenticity of the text has yet to be confirmed.
